How effective was the "Vet School" component in engaging students in the diagnostic process?

How did this resource help students understand process of elimination using data analysis? The real life cases that were assigned to the students to diagnose were really great and engaging. They had to sort through the symptoms and possible conditions and rule out any that were unlikely based on their findings. It gave them ownership of the task as they were the ones investigating rather than being given the diagnosis straight away.

Did this kit increase your students awareness of the skills needed to work in the vet industry? They are all farm kids so already had an interest in animals. This kit really opened their eyes about what is involved in being a vet and the different areas they could be focusing on. They worked out it's pretty complicated but rewarding!

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? We shared our learning at our small school assembly, parents were very impressed with their learning and commented what a cool kit it was. Other teachers commented how good it was at relating to real life cases and engaging the students. The students enjoyed working through the kit, especially being the vets at the end. The case file videos at the end were fantastic, the students enjoyed seeing if their diagnosis were correct.
“A great teaching kit about animals- was fun and engaging. The activities were interactive and showed how to examine and diagnose animals. Students enjoyed pretending to be vets, we are a rural school so the students were all farm kids but learnt so much about the processes involved in diagnosing animals. All of the supporting tools were very useful and the kit was easy to follow/use.”

How did this resource help students understand process of elimination using data analysis? Most students understood the process of elimination and this kit gave them good opportunities to practice this understanding. Some students initially jumped to quick conclusions but with the support of their group, they were able to carefully consider all the elements.

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? The students enjoyed being confronted to "real life" material such as X-rays, which brought about some curiosity about their own body.
“It took my class a bit of time to get into the kit but once we got to the diagnostic stage, they enjoyed working out the clues and discussing them. They also enjoyed becoming experts in an animal and having some research time.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Many wanted to work with real blood (hahaha).
“I wanted to love this kit, as I have loved all the others. The kids just didn't really seem to get involved in this one for some reason. Many declared that they didn't want to be a vet and it became the main negative throughout. Lots did find it interesting though.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? Students loved the posters, the Petrie dish, to the heartbeats and especially the glasses! The whole theme of animals and caring for them fits in so well to a Year 4 class of animal lovers.
“Story Vets is such a unique kit! Linking favourite stories with science made the kit fit in so well with our inquiry topics. The authentic medical props were a highlight as were the special glasses.”

What feedback have you received from students or parents about the learning in this kit? No feedback from parents yet but students overall engaged well with the content and enjoyed the unit.
“First time user of one of these kits so it took a bit for me to navigate my way around the resources and how to use them. I loved the idea behind this with students becoming junior vets and assisting to diagnose animals from the stories. The physical resources were fantastic and engaged the students. I used it with a Year 7 and 8 class who I only see once a week for Science so I did find it hard to keep the flow going with the teaching and also missed quite a few of the activities due to limited time. If I did it again I would try to get another teacher involved to teach this across several subjects eg: digital technology or English but this was hard to coordinate this time around. One critique I have is that my students were at the top of age range suggested but found the reading material quite hard in some areas with a lot of specific language and ideas that they were very unfamilar with. I would think that Year 5 and 6 would find many of the medical terms hard to understand. Another thing I struggled with was how to present the digital resources to the students. We use google classroom at our school but there didn't seem to be an easy way to link digital resources without manually copying and pasting videos etc or information from some of hte online resources so I ended up having to make quite a few of my own digital resources to share online eg; the cat practice diagnosis or the videos for becoming an expert. Please update me if there is an easy way to share with the students that I missed.”
